Abstract
A case is reported in which a herpes zoster infection caused recurrence of phantom limb pain in a man whose left arm had been amputated 7 years previously. It is, to our knowledge, the first such case reported, and it shows the importance of peripheral mechanisms in the generation of phantom limb pain.Entities:
